Program History
ESPNews Pregame replaced 4 Qtrs (also anchored by Lloyd) in the 7pm ET timeslot. On July 21, 2008, this program expanded to two hours as it moved up an hour to the 6pm ET timeslot, replacing the re-airings of Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption (both of which moved to sister channel ESPN2 in the same timeslot). In addition to the expansion of the current two-hour format, ESPNews Pregame has switched to a dual-anchor format as well, just like most of the network's other programs, such as The Hot List and Gametime. The show had its series finale on January 2, 2009 as ESPNews reverted back to half-hour blocks of sports news throughout the day beginning January 5, 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words program and/or history:
“The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.””
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
